Settle down, with me
Cover me up, all warm
All around, your here
Don't be affraid, of the storm
I can't say, how I feel
Are you there? Are you there?
I'm okay, I'm okay
We, don't need no more...
Hearts in the ocean, in the ocean
Verse 2
Settle down, with me
Cover me up, all warm
Hear me now, in the cold
Breathe out, your alone
Your special, or so you think
Maybe we, can make it singing
Umm, umm, umm
Verse 3
Setlle down, with me
Cover me up, all warm
Settle dowm, with me
So cover me up, all warm
Settle down

The lyrics to Dan Robinson's song Settle Down depict a desire for a connective and intimate relationship that provides warmth and comfort. The singer wants to settle down with the person he is addressing, inviting them to cover him up all warm and stick close through the storm. He's unable to express how he feels, but reassures the other person that he's okay and asks how they're feeling. The repeated refrain of "Settle down" reiterates this desire for a stable and secure relationship.
In the second verse, the singer emphasizes the other person's uniqueness and how they believe they can make it together. The "umm, umm, umm" provides a sense of uncertainty or hesitation in this claim, perhaps hinting at doubts or fears that the couple may be experiencing. In the third verse, the refrain of settling down is repeated several times as a call to action to bring the relationship to that stable and committed place.
The oceanic imagery in the chorus adds to the emotional depth of the song, with "hearts in the ocean" evoking a sense of vulnerability and risk. The warm physicality of the verses contrasts with the possibility of sinking hearts in the ocean. Overall, Settle Down is a song about the yearning for closeness and stability in a relationship, while acknowledging the potential difficulties and challenges that come with it.
